Wabi Sabi Apron

A while ago my wonderful friend Corrine at dosfishes, had a giveaway and the prize was her entry to the Table Cloth Challenge, the Wabi Sabi Apron. If you (like me) are not quite sure what wabi-sabi means, you’ll find an explanation here. Anyway, I was the lucky winner of Corrine’s drawing and last week the apron and other goodies landed in my mailbox (click on the picure to see more pictures).Corrine says she’s not a seamstress (although I know for a fact that she’ll sew anything, including pieces of bark, to her work), but she is indeed a brilliant artist and master of colours, so this apron is a cheerful work of art. I immediately put it on and danced around our house and grandson looked at me and asked if I should cook. Like I would have been that happy about plain old cooking, well maybe in my new apron…

She also sent more pieces of vintage kimono silk and a box of tiny cloth pins.Thank you so much, Corrine, you sure know how to brighten up my day!!

welcome

to my tiny little piece of the Internet; I hope you'll enjoy your stay! Leave a comment if you like; I would love to hear from you. You'll find my patterns and tutorial tabs on the top of the page.All material is copyrighted.

so who am I?

My name is Nina Lise and I live in Norway where I share my life with my (incredible patient) husband, our daughter, two grandboys 9 and 5 (centre of the universe and masters of our house once a week and every other weekend), and an ever growing stash of fabric (lovingly referred to as “crap” by husband).
I have been quilting for 18 years, and it is consuming my time, my budget and large parts of both my brain and our house (hence the patient husband). I am pretty much a design-as-you-make-it-up quilter and enjoy the process even more than the finished project. I love playing with scraps of fabric and turning them into small, funny quilts. My first book was published in March 2012 and I also design patterns and teach classes.
